And I don't feel like playing a god damn single one of them.
What the fuck is wrong with me /v? Why I can't I actually play games anymore? I want to find games magical, fun, interesting, luring, and captivating, all like I did when I was a wee little lad.

You put too much thought into it now, just block out everything else and start a game. If you have trouble deciding on one then random.org it. Play as much as you can in one sitting and those feelings will probably come flooding back.

Play Banished.

I try and do that and I either get feelings of 'eh maybe tomorrow', and I fuck around on my phone or just sleep. I don't even if it's depression mixed with some cabin fever making me uninterested in something I used to always enjoy, or maybe growing up and becoming and adult is making these things inherently less fun. It sucks man. But I'll try that tomorrow.

Any you would recommend, personally?

Also I'm realizing for the first time that I'm procrastinating for playing video games. I guess my life could be way worse.

Was dat, shill it to me

Most comfy and fun and sadistic game there is, city builder in medieval times where every winter is hell, children eat too much, nomads will empty your food storages if too many arrive, aestethic as fuck with the best soundtrack ever put into a game. You'll easily get 50 hours in it most likely 300 because of a great modding community.

Go to random org, roll a number between 1 and 71, play it. Or brave the real world for the adventure and meaning you crave.

Try the freeware version of Spelunky.

Real world is even more boring, user.
God damn, you're a pretty good shill, ya know that?
Wasn't there a sequel just announced? I've heard so much about this game over the years, and I don't really know why I haven't tried it.

>I try and do that and I either get feelings of 'eh maybe tomorrow', and I fuck around on my phone or just sleep
I know the feeling, it's very easy to just alt-tab back into Sup Forums and that's your night gone. Doesn't feel like a waste, didn't want to do anything anyway. Rinse and repeat the next day

>Any you would recommend, personally?
Shortish ones

Uninstall them all and pick one (1) to play and stick to it until you beat it. Rinse and repeat. Faggot.

I'll try and snag it, I remember playing the demo when it came out on the 360. Last game I actually beat was Titanfall 2, and I blasted through that in one sitting. Before that was nuDOOM which was fun to me. Honestly I might just get a PS2 an replay the games I loved as a kid. I still have a bunch of PS2 and PS1 games tucked away in my closest somewhere. Maybe nostalgia will be the kick in the ass I need to do anything but laze around and have fun with vidya once again.
While that is in fact a good idea, it took SO long to install all these fucking games. I guess I'll keep that as my last resort/go nuclear option.

You need some dude weed lmao. It's the only way. Works for me, anyway.

>installing all your games once
>play 5 of them for 20 minutes and quit
>instead of playing 1-2 at a time
>run to Sup Forums to complain
every damn time

>tfw you finally commit to finishing your backlog after you marathon the mental gear solid series (for the 5th time this year)

feels good to have a goal

>not installing all of your games at once

steam could go anytime nigga and your games with them

I smoked with my friends before and played Prey. It was a trip. Granted I got way more high than I should have been, but I might actually take this into consideration
Even if I had a handful I'd still get tired of them.

X1X !

user, that's not an option with today's devs' collective incompetence when it comes to compression and you know it

of course its possible

just get a sizeable HDD

>growing up and becoming and adult is making these things inherently less fun
Idk man I'm 28 and I still enjoy playing video games a lot. Recently Nion, Persona 5, Cuphead and A Hat inTime.

Maybe I just get shitty games then, to be honest

You just aren't in the mood to play video games

It's literally nothing serious. I was like that for years and suddenly I just randomly started playing games again. Granted I had a back injury and nothing to do but play Earthbound, which is a magical game, but still.

The only thing I can recommend is to try to play games on a console of some sort, not a PC. It can be easy to get distracted sometimes. Of course, that's never really a problem I have if I'm actually enjoying the game I'm playing, but still.

You probably have a low-key internet addiction, so just try to, like, actively CHOOSE to use the computer instead of gravitating towards it naturally.

Also you have no obligation to finish games if you don't want to.

That webm isn't very impressive. Just looks like every other western triple A game ever (uncharted, tomb raider etc) where cool shit happens on screen, but all you're really doing is holding up and hammering X. May as well have just made an action movie if you barely interact with it.

I think a low key internet addiction would be accurate. I mean what else is there to do when you're genuinely introverted, borderline hermited? Sometimes I wish for a power outage or to not be able to pay the internet bill so I'll be forced to read a book or even just crack open some DVDs

>Set playing goals for my days off from work
>Me: Ok. I need to finish/start JRPG#3 and practice FightingGame#5, also play a little bit of MMO#12
>End up just playing quick "jump in, jump out" games like Overwatch and CoD
>Or just laying in my bed and posting on Sup Forums, watching Youtube videos

or...
>Want to do something very autistic like making youtube content for one of my favorite games
>1 day goes by
>1 week goes by
>Alright I'm going to start on my next off day!
>2 weeks goes by
>3 weeks goes by
>Repeat everything

I want to cry. I need a huge. My off days go so fast because of this. I want my burning desire to return. I feel so depressed. I keep wanting for classic/favorite games to return during every gaming event (E3, TGS, PSX, Paris Week, etc) but nothing ever happens.


I HAVE found a hobby that I'm interested in that is outside of gaming. - Superbikes and getting /fit/. Is it time I say goodbye to video games? I constantly think about when it the right time to let video games go, BUT I DON'T EVER WANT TO LET THEM GO!! It's hard, I can't see myself without video games. I love them. It's why I live! If I could go back in time I would pursue game dev and make video games for you guys. I promise. God please give me another chance!

Honestly, if anything, being a game dev would kill your passion faster than anything. I don't have any experience, but the thing is, all us nerds have wonderful ideas and fantasies of what we'd do if we were devs.. but realistically we wouldn't have creative control, ya know? We all wanna be the Todd Howard's and what not, directing the games, but we'd be dev#35.

Also
>hug

Also also, I am depressed, and laying around doing nothing:
Sleeping
Watching YouTube
Browsing Chan
Chatting people up
All definitely contribute to it. I think if anything, you should set a date with a pretty girl (Or lad) or set up a day to hang with your friends. And then set it up again for the next off day.

Get more busy with your life, and soon you'll learn to appreciate games. Not saying you aren't busy, but I mean, make your free time busy. Maybe take a break from games. You'll miss them.

This OP here, so I should probably take my own advice.

Oh and just once more, cause I'm such a nice guy
>hug

With how big the indie scene is right now, anyone can be the "Todd Howard" on the dev team.

>ITT: People with undiagnosed depression / anxiety who need like one small pill a day to fix their entire lives
On a semi-related topic you know what I hate more than anything else

The concept of "laziness"

Like 90% of "lazy" people just don't have the mental energy required to do stuff, but they're shunned and demeaned for effectively having a mental illness. And it's the world's worst mental illness, because nobody on Earth would accept that it's a real thing. At least depression is gaining some ground. You know how many condescending looks I get when I try to explain that you can't just miraculously "create" the will to do something? That "not being lazy" takes effort and hence would require you to not be lazy in the first place?

And then on the flip side we praise "hard workers" as though they weren't insanely lucky to be born or raised with a capacity for hard work. It's fucking unfair, hard workers can learn to work harder while lazy people are powerless to become less lazy.

You keep trying to force yourself to play games, and buying more thinking that'll incentive you, rather than just pursuing other hobbies and only gaming when you feel like it

We wanna make good, well known, successful games. A lot of ""gaymerz"" probably have big ideals inspired by big games.

Me personally, I'd like to make an isometric RPG. I never even played the OG Fallouts or Baldur's Gate or any of it. I just feel like it's within reason and scope.

>dog shits in bedroom
>only just now get around to cleaning it up, 3 months later

sometimes these things take time, man. don't sweat it.

>huge backlog of unplayed games that I'd probably really enjoy
>end up just replaying REmake or RE4 yet again

I don't know why I bother with anything past the sixth gen.

I am diagnosed, been taking the pills for about a month with no effect. They're small doses though, but I don't wanna be a slave to little pills. Not trying to pull a pity me or anything, I'm not miserable and I don't expect randos on the internet to care, I'm just telling you I am diagnosed. So it could be that or maybe something else, cause games used to make me happy even when feeling blu

ALSO. That whole rant, yeah.. no. Those are some warped ideas. And dumb ones too. You're literally justifying your laziness.
>I'm lazy but I can't help it
>no really guys it's a mental illness
I think it might just be a societal thing rather than mental illness
Most of us live casual lives raised in casual environments, so that leads to casual behavior

post them.

My backlog? It's spread over Steam along with multiple consoles. Hell there's still Dreamcast games I'd like to finish.

208 games owned and 135 DLC here, I have the same issue. I can't bring myself to fucking finish anything, I have a problem.

It's takes hard work to get there, no one gets silver spooned. Starting small and working your way is also a good thing because you gain more knowledge before the big game production begins. That's why we don't just give rookies the keys to big budget games.

>Last game I actually beat was Titanfall 2, and I blasted through that in one sitting
Heard that was good and I love me some robutts
>Honestly I might just get a PS2 an replay the games I loved as a kid
That works too and they're piss to softmod, look up the Agent Under Fire exploit if you ever want to pirate for it

That's very much the Enslaved experience, for all your flashy animations it never feels like you're really interacting with the environment. Game's got a charm to it regardless though, and the DLC is poignant to a point you come away bewildered you're feeling such things towards it

Just peruse this thread and you'll get plenty of advice. I'm actually going to clear out my library right now.
At what point/age would you say it's too late to learn code or to really get into the business

Thanks man

Lazy is wanting food but you can't be arsed going to kitchen. Depression is being hungry but you know you've got another sleep in you before the cramps and shakes set in

When you grow up you become a different person.
You either find something that person can get out of games or you stop playing games.
You don't sit around confused why you don't enjoy the same crap you did when you were younger.

you need a reason to do them aka a background activity

go start smoking weed or get a JUUL for nicotine or drink or take adderall or xanax just something to nudge you to be like hah this will be fun now

If you can get Titanfall 2 for anywhere near 20 smackaroos I'd say go for it. I won't tell you it's the greatest game ever, but it really was something fresh. The multiplayer should keep you entertained for a bit too, especially since the PvE update. I'm not so sure about the number of players but it certainly isn't dead. Learning little tricks to stay and go faster and pulling off speedy kills is vvv fun, to me at least

I have that feeling as well. I just bought and beat Hollow Knight though and that was a blast. I even got all the achievements for it which I don't tend to do anymore but now I'm burned out. I'm surprised no one has posted the stagnating cap yet.

it's just:
looking at the fridge and knowing theres a microwave meal even tho you want to eat healthy but you literally can't move yourself to go even do it and its all so subconcious motivational posters and the like do jack shiet

I mean that's the thing, I know I'd love Sly and Spyro and MediEvil and Ratchet and Clank and the childhood games if I played them again.
>Then play those games, fuckwad duuh
Don't even bother posting it, I'm working on it. If those don't get my game juices flowing then I'm selling this shit

>Do drugs to do vidya
Yeah I think I'll reject this advice.
Except weed, maybe

>take xanax recreationally

>take adderall, start playing Horizon
>end up jerking off for 14 hours

i wish i could resist the urge, i really do, but i think i developed a link between uppers and stroking my cock until the head is red and i feel like killing myself when i'm done

DUDE

you just sound lazy and unmotivated

nicotine and caffine are legal stimulants to motivate you and everyone else in the world uses em

weed is good for creativity

the pills u can skip but yeah i got into a rut and it turned out that i was just staring at my steam screen all the time because i got so comfortable with it i didn't need caffeine to sit and pick out and research and play games

let me

reset ur dopeamine force yourself to start playing vidya gaems and within 30 minutes you wont wanna beat your dick when you take addy again

The games you've bought are shit.
Go play something good.

>reset your dopamine
if by resetting it you mean going over 30 days without jerking off and taking on NoPorn, then sure, that's what i'm doing

i'm just afraid that i'll relapse if HARD if i take adderall again. it gets to the point where i can get an erection just thinkin about poppin an addy and embarking on a fapathon

Like what
Quit. I haven't eaten Cheetos in years. I'm just losing my interest in games and I don't wanna
I wouldn't call myelf lazy, but who would? When I need to do something I do it and don't complain. I keep things relatively orderly and clean. Video games were just my time killer. No, they were my time god-annihilater. But no I just waste time in somehow even less productive ways.

dude, it takes less than a few days.

you're just 'rewiring' what you think you take addy for

adderall doesnt dictate what you do you dictate it and it just pushes ya

it'll suck dick but if you just keep gaming you wont want to lapse on the dick-beatinig

i went through the dick-beating phase, i was a beater

now im better

that's the point. you're too comfortable. this no longer excites you like it used to when you opened it up and saw your steam list.

try a stimulant to motivate you to just open up a game, anything for like 15 minutes

why do you think people drink coffee before work nobody wants to fucking work

> I was a beater. Now I'm better
Don't listen to this guy. Don't do drugs for the specific purpose of playing games or jerking off. That's pathetic. Say no to drugs, user. It's like you had your brain turned off for all those D.A.R.E. meetings

>i was a beater
>now im better

LOL eh, i might take it again when i feel like it or when my doc wants to check my levels to see if i'm still taking it

Quit trying to get me to do drugs, you devil. I won't be peer pressured. Not by the likes of you.

do you not drink coffee or anything

Coffee and energy drinks, not too often though. Especially not anymore. I've still gotten numb to the effects of caffeine though

Apathy is anathema to normalfags to such a point that they can't even comprehend it manifesting in someone they're physically talking to. Their depression advice is mostly start at the back and follow the carrot. What if the carrot has no value? You're just being contrarian, the carrot has to have value, breh

eh numb or not - theres still that little boost that makes you more involved in what you want to do

you wanna play vidya it'll push you more to play some vidya instead of staring at your 1440hz 4K screen wondering when you'll find happiness in games again

I suppose.
What kinda vidya do you play anyway?
And what's the best games to play high UwU

>ALSO. That whole rant, yeah.. no. Those are some warped ideas. And dumb ones too. You're literally justifying your laziness.
See you're literally doing the exact thing I said everyone did

I'm not saying that that proves I'm right, but I've put a lot of thought into this over the years. It takes effort to improve yourself. If one of your flaws is that you can't exert effort, how do you improve yourself?

coffee is a meme drink.

RTS, FPS shooterz, a good of the AAA title games with a full story line. Just beat LA Noire, moving on to Max Panye 3

you push yourself everyday and if you need a help to get to your goals for the day from the most available 'drug' (caffiene) then theres nothing wrong

best games high are all of them. I especially liked super mario world for SNES but the GBA remake edition.

I liked Max Payne 3, the PvP was fun as fuck
Have you considered that maybe everyone reacts that way because you're wrong? Laziness isn't a character flaw, it's a vice. Everyone is lazy at times. It's just bad to be lazy all the time

Are there better games for smonking the donk and better games for rushing on addy? I'm not really a drug guy if you can't tell

Yes obviously I've considered that I'm maybe wrong. That's literally the first thing I ask myself after one of those conversations.

You didn't even reply to my question. If you're chronically lazy, how do you stop? It would require effort, which you are too lazy to exert.

>you push yourself everyday
How do you do this if one of your character flaws is that you can't exert effort i.e. push yourself.

>At what point/age would you say it's too late to learn code or to really get into the business

The age when you have too many responsibilities to pursue other things/careers. Could someone really come home from a normal job and then learn code for about the same duration as they would play video games? But then... how do you also stay motivated. I don't know. I'd like to hear your opinion.

You're too mental gymnastics to keep yourself lazy. There is no answer because you purposefully create a paradox in which you can explain and justify being lazy.
I think trading that tine to play games with time to learn code would just distance yourself from games. I think some developers have the mindset of a creater and not a player. But maybe playing and making games is just too much god damn video games in your life.
I mean I suppose you could study and learn anything you wanted to apply yourself to, instead of partaking in the pointless things that we enjoy. At that point I think it'd be grating though. Like I said earlier, making games would probably kill the passion for playing them.

>You're too mental gymnastics to keep yourself lazy. There is no answer because you purposefully create a paradox in which you can explain and justify being lazy.
So what specifically is the difference between actual reality and the situation I propose?

You're doing* whoops

Okay guys. So I narrowed it down a bit. By a lot actually. Down to 11 games, from my 71.
In alphabetical order:
>Alien: Isolation
>Child Of Light
>Elex
>Farcry 4
>Hyper Light Drifter
>Phantom Dust
>Ruiner
>Sleeping Dogs: Def edition
>The Turing Test
>Witcher 2
>Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate

Pick one or two for me, guys. I'll knock those ones out. I promise

>You're too mental gymnastics to keep yourself lazy.

This is the same answer people give when you tell them you're depressed, you're full of shit, I don't think there any difference between that lazyness and a depressed person except for what theyre calling it.

Can you just pick a game>>>
It's 3am for fucks sake

You can play Witcher 2 in isolation but you'd enjoy it more if you played the first and knew the characters beforehand.

I'll rec WO3, it's not grand but musous are pure ye olde beat em up fun continued into the modern 3D era. For your main team I say try Xiahou Ba's strong slow moveset + speed up character ability nonsense, plus Ninja Gaiden's Ryu for sick nasty tunes (youtube.com/watch?v=4jaIUlz-wNU) and moves that don't belong plus a third character of your choice. You have to unlock characters, you may dislike mine, but you'll have fun

I have Witcher 3 but I wanna play 2 first. Not too interested in 1. And I'll keep all that in mind

Play something comfy and not stressful. I find that VNs usually help.

>VNs
>Video games

Just read the fucking manga. HOLY SHIT.

>Not too interested in 1
Fair enuff. 2 gets memed on as a DaS clone but it's not that at all, game's just got somewhat sluggish ARPG combat and unfair odds if you straight ball it. This being a Witcher game, straight balling it is the last thing you want to do though so bust out the poisons and potions and you'll have great fun.

Nah he's right, you conveniently convinced yourself that you "can't exert effort", which is impossible. Don't you realize how fucking convenient that is, you don't have to try everyday to make the smallest progress you could, because of course you just can't. Stop escaping reality and grow the fuck up.

Seeing your list makes me depressed. Go play Risen.

I thought that rose was his dick

Just don't play video games then.

Youre buying to many games. Get 2 and commit.
